The United States Postal Service could save $7.1 million annually by stopping mail distribution at Reading’s Gus Yatron Postal Facility and moving the work to a plant in Harrisburg, Postal Service officials said.
But the move would eliminate 135 jobs in Berks County and slow mail delivery.
That trade-off didn’t seem to sit well Wednesday with about 65 people, many of them postal workers, who came to hear officials detail the proposal at Northeast Middle School in Reading.
